Gee I think that's what people do when they go to the movies or rubberneck.
What's so weird about that?

You are losing me here. The plan should be not to acquiese and supporting
that seems like the right thing to do.

Again I'm at a loss here. Are you saying that this RIAA threat has made you
so fearful that you are NOT going to share copyrighted material anymore?
Well you do know that when we beat the RIAA at this game you will share in
the proceeds if you choose to. You see it is interesting to see how the
RIAA is to be combated here. If you feel there is no reason to fight them
because the Politicians and People are in the back pocket of the RIAA then
that in itself is interesting. But I don't think so. I don't think they
are. I think a well reasoned argument could stop the RIAA. What that is
don't know but I'm sure it is out there. No one believed OJ Simpson was
innocent come on he was as guilty as the day is long. Trouble was the
prosecution was inept and his defense was superb. I believe that is also
possible here. Remember Michael Jackson? What about Baretta?
